Abstract excerpt
The phyllosphere, the aboveground interface between plant leaves and their microbial residents, plays a vital yet underappreciated role in crop productivity. While root- and soil-associated microbiomes are well-studied, the ecological assembly and yield-related effects of host-mediated phyllosphere microbial communities remain largely understudied, particularly under field conditions. This study investigates the...
